Clabaugh in Equity Court last week denied the rule to show cause against the People's Mutual Benefit Insurance Company. In dismissing the rule the justice said, that the company was in a prosperous condition turning to Mr. Gardner said: What if you want me to do? In reply Mr. Gardner said, I want you to appoint a receiver. The court said I do that and gave as his reason to be stated. The membership of the company is about ten thousand and the one who filed the bill against the company asking for a receiver were first and from what The Bee has as a name, those four did not have any privilege against the company. It was remembered that at the time the law was filed in Court, there were no grounds for complaint against this company. It is one of the largest and most reliable companies in the city. The company has never at any time denied any of its members an account. This will be given at any time. The working of this company is wide open and since its organization no complaint has ever been made against its membership consists of colored people, who claim that the company is prompt in paying sick and death benefits when their teams are presented. Dr. Samuel M. Porter one of the examining physicians and no better young man practiced medicine in this city and no one does more for his people than this well known physician. The Bee stated last week that it would keep its readers informed as to the final outcome of the case but it has done. TOR LEADS VERMONT FIGHT. MAKE ISSUE OF REBATING EVILS.

NDS BROWN TO COLOR PROBLEM. Uses Question of Race? Prob- fect on Our Civilization. Neb. June 14. General Nelson, while addressing the graduates of the University of Neyra, raised the question of the effect of the red man, the black the brown man, upon American He declared the 8,000,000 Malays inhabiting our insular possessions would receive no better treatment at the hands of Americans than did the Indians, and went on to say: "The natives, who were dwelling in peace, contentment and happiness, when our ancestors landed upon our Eastern shores, have been driven from every valley and mountain crest until their race has been nearly annihilated. "The Ethiopians, whose ancestors were kidnapped on the coast of Africa and sold into slavery along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, were subjected to unrequited toil for more than two hundred years and have increased to between 8,000,000 and 10,000,000. "More than 8,000,000 Malays are held by the arbitrary power of our Government, with no immediate prospect of relief or independence. "Whether this will have an effect of changing our form of government from a pure democracy to a more restricted liberty and centralized power, the future alone can determine. "In fact, whether these different elements of our great population will continue as homogenous in the future as in the past is a serious problem. "The only hope and salvation for this nation is universal education and deep-seated, strong patriotism that shall permeate and control every community." M. J. A. LANKFORD. J. A.

Allen Shamefully Mistreated and Put off the Car. On last Monday night as Dr. E. H. Allen of 1115 4th street, N. W., boarded the car on Four-and-a-half street, South Washington, whither he had gone on professional business, finding the car crowded, he was compelled to stand up. He took a position in the foremost aisle in front of a white woman. This white woman objected to his standing there, and tried to push him off the car. The doctor held his place and the woman not being able to push him off, several young white men, aided by the conductor, came to her rescue, not even stopping to inquire what the complaint against Dr. Allen was, or what offense he had committed. Meanwhile the Doctor was very orderly, but stoutly resisted being put off. He was very roughly handled and finally put off the car. In the struggle, the Doctor had a new coat ruined and came home much worsted. It is a shame that colored gentlemen in the city of Washington, the nation's capital, cannot ride on a street car, especially if he happens to stand in front of some white woman, without being maltreated, insulted and abused. We know Dr. Allen and can testify that there is not a more peaceable, quiet, orderly gentleman, white-or black, in the entire city. These indignities against citizens of color are becoming entirely to frequent, and something should be done to put an end to it. SEVENTY-FIVE The new Board of Education will not be announced before the 15th day of July. There are at least 75 colored candidates for members of the new board. The judges are tired of the delegations- WILL MR. WEST ACT? Commissioner Henry L. West, who has charge of the police department, undoubtedly believes in humane treatment for man and beast. He believes in fair treatment and he is not a man who imagines that men under him are his inferiors. Citizens who call to see him are treated like human beings. The Bee desires to call the attention of Mr. West to the officers on the police force and ask him if he thinks it fair and just to compel officers to keep their coats buttoned during this warm weather, while thousands of others in the employment of the District government are not exposed to the hot sun and many of them don't wear coats seated in the shade. The Bee would ask, Who is responsible for this imposition on the force? Certainly Mrs. West is not. The Bee hears complains from the officers who are suffering and made sick from the heat of the sun. The time has come for Mr. West to give his personal attention to this department and see that an-order is issued relieving the officers of a burden that may in the course of time disable them. Why should members of the force be compelled to wear thick blue coats and pants this kind of weather? Let any human being observe how the officers are dressed and how 1 M. RICHARD BARTHOLDT. much they suffer this warm weather. The law should at least have as much consideration for human beings as it does for beasts. The humane society protects beasts, why not protect men? The people have the most abiding faith in Mr. West. They know that he has no knowledge of this oppressive regulation that officers must keep their coats buttoned from top to bottom this warm weather. The life of an officer amounts to nothing so far as some men are concerned. They are afraid to complain to the Commissioners because of the oppressive police regulations. A most ridiculous spectacle was witnessed a few days ago at the Police Trial Board. Two of the best officers on the force had been reported because they had their coats open. The testimony showed in one case that only one button was unfastened. In another case an officer had just left a car and was going on duty at the White House. Before he had a chance to button the one button he was reported and cited to appear before the Trial Board. This is but one of the numerous and ridiculous charges an officer must answer and stand trial or be dismissed. Commissioner West ought to revise the police manual and eliminate many of such silly rules. If Commissioner West would appoint the Trial Board himself the results would be different and more satisfactory. The Trial Board should be composed of men from the office of the Attorney for the District of Columbia. The officers of the police force should have more consideration. Many of them are faithful and deserving. Mr. West, allow the officers to unbutton their coats. You have a heart. A public meeting will be held next week, on which occasion Dr. A. R. Robinson of Chicago, Ill., will preside. Watch The Bee for particulars. BALTIMORE & OHIO EXCURSION. Sunday, July 1, $1.00 to Frederick. Keedysville and Hagerstown and return.

Clark, who came to this city from North Caliola and established a millinery department at dressmaker's training school. Mrs. Clark opened in True Reformer's Hall. This place not being large enough she rented a large and commodious building at the corner of 11th and You streets, northwest. By hard struggles and perseverance Clark has succeeded in building up a business and a school that will be a monument to Washington Mrs. Clark is a refined and cultured lady, full of business and push. The 5th annual commencement of her Dressmaker's Training School took place Thursday evening at ZionBaptist Church on F street between 3d and 4 1-2 streets, southwest. There was a large and representative audience present to witness the exercises and listen to a well prepared program. Mr. J. A. Lankford, president of the Business League, presided and opened the exercises by introducing Rev. W. J. Howard, who offered prayer. Mr. Lankford then delivered a most logical and eloquent address.

Masons of this jurisdiction celebrated St. John's day, at the 19th Street Baptist Church. The several lodges convened at Odd Fellows' Hall on M street, N. W., and escorted Most Worshipful Grand Master William H. Grimshaw and the Grand Lodge to the church, where a most able sermon was delivered by the Rev. Bro. Clair, pastor of Asbury M. E. Church. Short addresses were made by the oldest Grand Master of this jurisdiction, Bro. John F. Cook, and that of the oldest Mason, Bro. John A. Gray. Several hundred Masons attended the celebration, also a large number of ladies representing the Adoption Rite, the Order of the Eastern Star. The musical program was under the direction of Brother Jas. Walker, director of the choir. Between sixty and seventy dollars was realized at the offering. Prince Hall Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, invited a number of ladies into the mysteries of the Rite last Thursday evening. Prof. Theodore Greener has returned to the city after a pleasant visit to Charleston, S. C. NEGRO ELDERS' HOLY KISS FOR WHITE SISTERS. From the New York Journal The novel spectacle of colored elders kissing white sisters and white elders kissing colored sisters was witnessed at the general conference of the Church of God in session in Tabernacle, No. 3, Hudson avenue, near DeKalb avenue, Brooklyn. It was the ceremony known as the "holy kiss." Several hundred attended the conference. The church draws no color line and about half of those present were colored. Bishop Marsh, the head of the local branch of the church, said that in the last year hundreds of white converts had been made in this State. The increase had been so large that he had found it necessary to ordain five new elders. Many of those present had taken only the first step leading to admission to the church—the washing of their feet by an elder. The next step was the "holy kiss." One after another the white converts pressed their lips to those of the colored and white elders and then the colored converts did the same. The "holy kiss" is not the only novel feature of the "Church of God." The members have a "prophet," and it is necessary to have the utmost faith in this leader. His word is law in everything appertaining to the church. The followers must contribute 10 per cent of their earnings for the support of the "prophet." It is said that the church is operating many business enterprises throughout the country, and that it expects soon to concentrate these enterprises in Belleville, Va., where a "Holy City" will be established. REGISTER VERNON COMPLI MENTED BY WILBERFACE UNIVERSITY. During the jubilee celebration last week of Wilberface University, among those who were visitors from this city were: Dr. E. W. Lampton, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church and Dr. Q. J. W. Scott, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Register W. T. Vernon was also a visitor and delivered an address and was accorded an ovation. At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees the degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon him. JUDGE CAUGHT IN TRAP SET BY CUNNING WIFE. St. Louis, June 16—Judge Arville Davis Jones, of Edina, Mo., who was a Populistic candidate for governor in 1896, is being sued for divorce on the grounds that he kissed his wife, believing her to be their mulatto servant girl. Mrs. Jones says she arranged a trap when Jones had planned to meet the girl in the dining-room. She took the mulatto's place, pulling all the blinds down and extinguishing the light. She says he seized her in his arms and kissed her, believing all the time that she was the servant girl. PROPOSED ST. LUKE'S CHURCH EXCURSION.

H., June 9—William Welch, residing near here, is 106 years of age, and is no doubt the oldest soldier alive who fought in the Rebellion. Mr. Welch enlisted in the Fourteenth New Hampshire Regiment in August, 1862, at the age of 62 years, serving through the war and being discharged at Savannah, Ga., in July, 1865. To the House of Representatives. Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen:..... I appear here to present my contention before this honorable body in the contest now under consideration by you, not because it is a pleasure for me to do so, but, that I feel that it is a duty imposed upon me by the great ruler of all Governments, expressed through the voters and citizens of the First Congressional District of the State of South Carolina. Gentlemen, there is a time for all things, and the time has come when this great American Congress, which has the scales of justice in its hands, to decide whether it will stand by the Constitution and laws, that were founded upon an equality to all citizens, irrespective of race color or previous condition of servitude, or whether it will allow the Constitution and laws to be trampled upon before its eyes, by the so-called election laws of the State of South Carolina. Can any State be greater than the Union? I answer no. The United States Constitution and laws are the Supreme laws of the land, and each official in the several States of the Union is bound by his oath to stand by the Constitution of the United States and the laws of the country. The 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States were passed by Congress and submitted to all the States and the people and Legislature of South Carolina, as well as other States, ratified and accepted these amendments, which became a part of the fundamental law of this country, and the State of South Carolina, and its citizens are bound thereby. Also, according to the provisions of the State Constitution of 1868, and the Act of Congress of June 25th, 1868, the fundamental condition of which was that the suffrage provision as it then stood, should never be changed. Therefore, gentlemen, I contend that the State of South Carolina has had no powers, given her to dephive any citizen who is qualified under her constitution and the Act of 1868 from voting, as long as this Act and the Amendments to the Federal Constitution have not been changed by the Congress of the United States. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, the Amendments to the Constitution, and the Act of Congress of 1868 are both now in full force and are the supreme law of the land, and I contend that the members of Congress, each and every one, Democrats and Republicans, are in honor bound to uphold the laws of the United States and the Constitution thereof in obedience to the great obligation each member took by his oath or affirmative to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States when he was sworn in before the bar of this House, in the memorable Congressional Halls, as a member of the United States Congress. The Constitution gave the House the right to judge of the election returns and qualifications of its own members, and such judgment and qualification by this Congress can only be done fairly and squarely by ascertaining which of the two contending parties to a contest is the choice of the majority of the electors in the Congressional District under consideration according to the Constitution and laws of the United States then in force. This body need not consider the State of South Carolina at all if she has violated her obligations to the union. The 14,663 citizens and voters of the First Congressional District of South Carolina, some who were allowed to vote, others who were rejected, gave their names as well as the names of the precinct, ward and county in which they lived, thus offering the contestee the opportunity to discover any one of these voters who were not a resident of the place he claimed. Out of the whole 14,663 men over 21 years of age he failed to find one or to produce one of this number who was not at the polls as stated in the lists which are incorporated in the record in this contest. The committee also failed to produce one of this number who was not at the registration office applying for a certificate to enable him to vote, and who was not denied the said certificate. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, the names of each of these 14,663 male citizens over 21 years of age, in the First Congressional District of South Carolina, were taken by a secretary or by the precinct chairman at each polling place as set forth in the record. The secretaries and the County Chairman were designated to act for the Republican candidate on the 56th day of November, 1904, and this was the only way for me to get my votes counted, or supporters of the contestee. In consequence we had a man appointers of the contestee. In consequence we had a man appointed by each Republican County Committee to take the names of these men which appear upon the lists in the record. The men were our managers and the only means by which we could safeguard the interests of my constituents. These men were instructed to write the names of each voter as he appeared at the polls and rejected by the managers. Under the heading of these lists in the record which reads as follows: State of South Carolina, County of Prescinct No. Ward No. Precinct No. Ward No. This is to certify that we, the undersigned citizens and residents of the county and State aforesaid are over 21 years of age, appeared at the registration office in the County and State aforesaid to be registered and were refused . And on the eighth day of November A. D., 1904, offered to vote for Hon. A. P. Priolean for Representative in the Fifty-Ninth Congress and were rejected. A number of these voters wrote their own names to the heading of these lists under the watchful care of the regular secretary and two more men acting as the Republican rallying committee at each of the polling precincts where the number of the voters were sufficient to warrant the same. We had these men sent there in time record the names of the voters at the time and place. And the number of rejected voters certified to by these managers are 14,429, and the State Board of Canvassers gave me 234, the contestee is alleged to have had 6,068 votes, making a total for me of 14,668 from this amount alleged to have been cast for the contestee, Geo. S. Legare, gives me, the contestant 8,505 majority. Now Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, what is the voting strength of the people of the First Congressional District of South Carolina as shown by the census of 1900? The Republican vote is shown to be 28,868 votes and the Democratic 1,500. These are the figures of the United States Government and they will show to you that the names on these lists on the record as hereinbefore referred to are absolutely correct. It is obvious to any one that the vote cast for me should have been from 20 to 25 thousand more, for the voters are there in the district and the Republicans have a large majority. I claim that 34,000 citizens who are voters reside in the First Congressional District of South Carolina and that had they a free ballot, all of them would have been cast for me and the Presidential electors. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, if two men were intended from the creation to be a majority over one, and if three men were also counted to be a majority over two, and following the analogy as far as you wish to go, I contend that if every voter the Democrats could muster had come out to vote for the contestee, the Hon. Mr. Legare, in the numbers given by the census of 1900, he could not possibly be elected. The colored Republican voters are in a very large majority in this district. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, there has been no claim by the contestee, his friends or supporters, that storms, cyclones, earthquakes and lava, rivers rolling therefrom, or any other destructive agents, visited this district so as to reduce or change the result of the Republican voters in the district since 1900 when the census was taken. Therefore gentlemen, I claim that all these people were in the district on the 8th day of November, 1904, and wished to vote for the President, Vice-President and for the candidate of the Republicans for a seat in Congress from the First District of South Carolina. The rights and privileges of these people were denied them under every scheme and unlawful pretext, such as could be devised. I brought the names of those who left their homes and offered to vote for me and were rejected by the friends and supporters of the contestee, the Hon. George S. Legare. This contestee or rather candidate who had the entire control of the election and used it to prevent legal and honest voters from voting their choice. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, I have been deprived of 14,595 votes by the notorious and fradulent election laws of the State of South Carolina and bring my case before you, who are the legal and tribunal to decide this important question which by the Federal Constitution is the Court of last resort. Article 1, Section 5, of the Constitution o fthe United States reads as follows: "Each house shall be the judge of the election. returns and qualifications of its own members, etc." The Democrats of South Carolina, without warrant of the law and justice deprived 14,595 voters and qualified citizens of their right to vote. Under the rules and laws governing this body, and the power given to it by the Constitution of the United States, you, gentlemen, are to count these votes and to the members I appeal to "let nothing but the righteousness of this case guide you in your votes, for it is said that "The voice of the people is the voice of God," and I have presented to this Congress 14,663 votes, whereas the contestee, with all the election machinery at his back, only presented 6,068 votes, which leaves me and my constituency with 8,595 majority, which votes you have time and again, by laws and precedents counted for the contestent. In the election cases heretofore decided are the following: The admissibility of the declarations of voters made at the time of voting, as part of the ros gestae, is established by a long line of precedents in the House of Representatives: Bell vs. Snyder, 43d Congress, Rowallie Dir. Gov. Case Smith vs. Jackson, 51st Congress, Rowell's Dig. El. Cas., 436. Declarations of voters as to how they voted and their qualifications is admitted. Vallandigham vs. Campbell, 35th Congress, Rowell's Dig. El. Cas., 151. The latter is a member of The lists are admissible. McDuffie vs. Turpin, 51st Congress, Rowell's Dig. El. Cas., 454. The lists made at the time of voting and sworn to became a part of the res gestae and are the best evidence of which the case in its nature is susceptible. I Greenleaf on Evid, 14th Ed., Sec. 82. In the case of Murry vs. Elliott, 54th Congress, Rowell's Dig. El. Cas., 543, the returns showed that Elliott had a majority of 1637 votes. The polls were not opened at Haut Gap so the electors improvised an election board and 217 votes were cast for Murry, it was admitted by the committee that they should be counted. The frauds in Charleston were such that 43 per cent of the white vote was counted and 4 per cent of the colored vote was counted. The committee refused to accept the returns as prima facie correct and declared that legal ballots were unquestionably kept from the box by illegal and wrongful acts of persons connected with the machinery of the election. It is impossible to determine the number of these ballots, and the only logical and equitable result is to reject such returns. The contestant Murry was sworn in. Under this ruling the 398 votes at Ten Mile Hill must unquestionably be counted and by virtue of the illegal and wrongful acts of those connected with the machinery of election the returns must be rejected. Fourteen thousand, four hundred and twenty-nine legal ballots were kept from the boxes under the ruling in Murry vs. Elliott case and must be taken into account. Now Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, the question is up to you to say by your votes whether you will uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States or the so-called election laws of South Carolina. Under the Constitution of the United States the federal laws are the supreme laws of the land, and all judges and officials holding office under the general government is bound to respect the same. This government is a government of the people, for the people and by the people. The preamble of the Constitution of 1787 reads: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Mr. Speaker and members of this distinguished body, the meaning and intent of the Constitution of the United States is evident. The 14th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution and the State Constitution of 1868 and the Act of June 1868 all were brought into life by the spirit and guidance of the great leaders. Abraham Lincoln was the Moses, the leader which God sent the second time to deliver and free all the people regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Mr. Speaker, standing, as you are, at the head of his great American Congress, and with so many years of great honor resting upon you, and living in the hopes of the receipt of other and greater honors which may fall to the lot of so eminent a citizen, can you afford for it to be said, when you finish your course as Paul did, that you have lent your power to deny anyone or race of their rights? I answer no. Members of this honorable body, Republicans and Democrats alike, many of you have been honored with great blessings and you still have hopes of reaching the highest honors that can be bestowed upon any one of America's sons. With the bright hopes before you, will you allow your votes to be counted against righteousness and justice to all men and people? I am pleading for the 30 or 34 thousand Republicans and others in my district and my contention is right, and every member here knows that I am right. Therefore, leave off your personal feelings and obey the laws of God and your country. Mr. Speaker and gentlemen, the foundation of this government is shaking, and I fear that it will soon give way. Look at the daily news of a distressing nature, wherein thousands of people are called or rather snatched from life into judgment without a moment's warning. These are accidents that occurred by land and sea, by rail, by fire, by caving mines, storms and lightning. These are troubles that none of us can escape. Again, look at the ruders, homicides and lynching of men and women. These seem to be increasing daily. Also observe the separation of man and wife, and the thousands of lives lost in this direction. The heads of departments, the highest officials, the financiers, the millionaires and our great men, who help to make this country the garden spot of the world, are held up to the scorn of the public and revived, that the iniquities of many have come to light. Many are dead from the effects of these exposures, and many of the old fathers and builders of this country are much dismayed. You read daily of their decaying condition. We cannot tell after honorable and faithful service, they may be called to face a jury upon the charge of such a nature as may disgrace them living or in their graves. Why is all this? Because the Government has departed from the rules of justice to all its people. The voice of ten millions of colored people are crying for justice. You have refused to hear us and God has caused these distressing ailments to fall on us that we may turn to do right. When we do this, our land will be in peace and prosperity and our lives and liberities will be secured, for this is God's promise. Gentlemen, all the people of my race ask you to give them a fair and square deal, they ask nothing more. They do not ask for, nor are they seeking social equality. Equality before the law is all they want and the right to vote. I have been duly elected to this Congress and I am contending for my rights and that of my people. Mr. Speaker and (gentlemen, the first Congressional District of South Carolina is the black district, which was given over to the negroes by the Hon. B. R. Tillman, who, while he was governor, gave the certificate of election to the United States House of Representatives to the Hon. George W. Murry, for it was the understanding that under any circumstances the colored people should choose their own representative from this district. Subsequent events, however, remind me of the tale of two tramps who were traveling together. One a strong, large fellow, the other a small weakling. The bread they had was running low. The strong fellow took the whole loaf and said to his partner, "Now, Pat, I don't want any fuss or trouble about this bread with you." The weakly man cried out, "How in the devil you want no fuss or trouble when you take the whole loaf and leave none?" That is the way the Democrats did in this district. At first they gave it to us, now they take it away from us. They have seven Congressmen for the seven districts of the State and naturally they claim that they don't want and fuss or trouble. Mr. Speaker and my Republican friends, I have presented my case to you faithfully and squarely. My majority is 8,595, the destiny of me, my race and constituents are in your hands. We have stood by the party for forty years. We have helped you to elect Presidents, Vice Presidents and Congressmen in all the doubtful States, because we feel that your party is ours and your success ours. We are always ready to fight and vote for the grand old Republican party. Now gentlemen, in the name of the Ruler of all governments and in behalf of thirty-four thousand voters of the First District of South Carolina and the ten millions of colored people of America, I appeal to you for my seat in this Congress. You have the proof of the justice of my claims. You will need every colored voter of the country in the various district to hold your own this fall, and if the Republican members of this Congress refuse to vote for me, a Republican, and vote for a Democrat you cannot then expect the colored people in those districts and States which are close to vote a Republican ticket, for you yourselves have voted for a Democrat who was never elected, and the negro voters may follow your example. Therefore, a House divided against itself cannot stand; a kingdom divided will fall. But together we will stand. We find by looking over the history of the United States that the negro of the United States was brought here to this country in 1620 by the Dutch. During that period to the present he has been in the following wars: 1770, when the first blood was shed for the cause by Attucks a colored man, at Boston, Mass. During the same war one-half of the command of General Marion were black men; also 1812, where fully one-half of the army of General Jackson was colored. The war of 1861, in which the black troops performed wonders, and the late unpleasantness between the United States and Spain. So it can be seen that the colored brother has played his part in the fighting acts of this great republic and is thereby entitled to rights and benefits of the same. We learn that a certain brother is on the eve of being tried in the Blue Departments for alleged acts done in the Royal Arch Department. We should think that the act of 1896, viz., the Blue Department trying to settle acts committed in the A. A. S. R. would be a lesson to some, of our highly esteemed contemporaries. Prejudice is becoming more pronounced each day in this city. Yet there is a class of the race who draw the line like the white brother. We think the Masons made a mistake in not placing Bro. J. O. Holmes as W. M. He has rendered the lodge many favors (financial). At Boston, Mass., the circumstantial Evidence League has been formed. Its object is to demonstrate the unreliability of circumstantial evidence, especially in murder cases, with a view to secure a change in the law. ACCUSED OF HERESY BISHOP GRAFTON ATTACKED BY A MILWAUKEE MINISTER. Wisconsin Episcopal Prelate Charged with Recommending Prayers to the Saints—Passages Objected To. Milwaukee.—Bishop Charles Chapman Grafton, head of the Episcopal church in the diocese of Fond du Lac, Wis., who is charged with heresy by Rev. William Austin Smith, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church in Milwaukee, is one of the foremost high churchmen in this country. In a letter to the Living Church, Rev. Mr. Smith writes: "One reads with amazement the letter of Bishop Grafton, entitled 'Prayer During Trial' (the heresy trial of Dr. Crapsay), in the Living Church. It is not its panic stricken temper, its wall against broad churchmen which confound. It is the polytheistic litany which he borrows from 1544 to put upon the lips of twentieth century churchmen. "If Bishop Grafton will permit the choice, many of us prefer, if we must utter a pagan prayer, one of those beautiful petitions of Socrates addressed to 'Pan and all the other gods.' This whine of the bishop to 'St. Mary, all the holy patriarchs, prophets, apostles, confessors and virgins' halts pathetically in comparison. The Greek pagan had the merit of dignity and spiritual poles. "It is almost amusing, were it not tragic, to see an American bishop tumbling into heresy while casting missiles at heretics and storming heaven in behalf of the faith once delivered." Here are some extracts from the prayers to which Rev. Mr. Smith objects: "Oh blessed Lord, look in mercy on this poor and distracted portion of thy P mystical body. We are unworthy of any favor, but are rather deserving of thy punishments. Yet, for the honor of thy hood and blessed mother, defend her, assaulted by insulting heresies. While we.deserve naught at thy hands, yet thou wilt surely defend her honor who bore the and whose holy and immaculate virginity is denied. Do not let her blasphemers triumph. Oh, Lord, bring to naught the conceits of the profane and carnally minded, and preserve thy church in the faith once and for all time delivered; for thy mercy's sake. "Oh, Saint Mary, mother of God our Lord Jesus Christ, pray for us. "All holy angels and archangels and all holy orders of blessed spirits, pray for us. "All holy patriarchs and prophets, apostles, martyrs, confessors and virgins, and all the blessed company of heaven, pray for us." Bishop Grafton was born in Boston. He began his religious work in England as an evangelist. He returned to the United States in 1872 and remained in Boston, where he was pastor of the Church of the Advent, until 1885, when he was elevated to the episcopacy. He has taken the vow of cellibacy. He believes in the Real Presence. He celebrates mass in a manner very near to the ceremonies of the Roman Catholic church and in his own diocese wears the nitre and other canonicals of a Roman bishop. He is possessed of a unique personality and his teachings and plans have been the subject of much discussion all over the country. He cherishes the hope of the unity of evangelical churches along high church lines so nearly approaching Roman Catholicism that it would be difficult to differentiate between the Roman and Episcopal churches. Bishop Grafton is now about 65 years old. He is rather feeble physically He's wealthy in his own right and has built up one of the finest cathedrals in America. There are six priests directly under Bishop Grafton. They address the bishop as "my lord." A cathedral school has been established and a school for choir boys. Bishop Grafton does not think there is danger of the high and low churches separating. "Our observances of high service," he says, "simply show the catholicity and comprehensiveness of the Episcopal church. There is an agreement on essentials between high and low churchmen and toleration on matters of opinion, instead of disturbing elements. We are divided like the waves, but like the sea, one."

The Boardmans came to Washington from Cleveland about 15 years ago. They are New Englanders, Mr. Boardman being a grandson of former late States Senator Boardman, of Connecticut. STRANGE SPANISH TOWN. Salinas Perched on a Mountainside and Completely Isolated—Built Many Years Ago. London.—Sallinas is a very ancient Spanish town situated in the mountains. It is perched on the side of a peak, and, looking down on a valley of superb grandeur, commands a magnificent view. The town gives one the impression of having been deposited on the sire all in one piece by some girl. It is rectangular and enriched by traces of an ancient wall, with a gateway. 福 In the center of the town street, intersect, is a quain fountain. It would be possible to the town, whose population exceed 400, on the roofs dary houses, since there are tached buildings. The townstolk are primit turesque.

There were about 1,800 people present and nearly all seemed to enjoy the game. They liked the coaching done by one of the Yanks, but they thought he did not do enough of it. All sorts of remarks were passed about the game. "Well, I'd rather go golf," said one Britsher. "Yes, hastily dull" agreed his neighbor.

COOD CUIDÉS - ARE SCARCE Outlook for Tourists, Hunters and Fishermen in Canada Ogawa - A serious problem for the first time comes up in connection with the tourist, fishing and hunting traffic in the northern wilds of Canada, which has hereunto been regarded as the dominant paradise. The problem relates to the impossibility of obtaining the services of experienced guides. Practically the whole of the old and tried hands are enlisted this season in the transportation of supplies over the lakes and streams to the new railways that are being built, and this work calls for the employment of men who are acquainted with these remote regions of the Dominion. A year's experience on the part of one accustomed to life in those parts is sufficient to fit an intelligent person to act as guide, but it is difficult to get men with even such meager qualifications. Servants from Indies There is constant immigration from the West Indies of male and female domestic servants. All are blacks or mulattoes and they are eagerly sought by eastern society women, for generally the West Indians have such fine English accent as to be the envy of their employers. Also they have more education and better manners than American negroes, from whom they hone themselves apart. By Another Name A London florist found that a new and fine rambler rose did not sell well under the name of the "Amelia Jenkins" so he changed the name to the "Lady Gay." Now it is going like hot takes PLUCKY CANADIAN ATHLETE Hamilton, Ont.-Sherring, the runner, who won the Marathon race at Athens, is likely to come out about $6,000 to the good as a result of his victory, for friends in Toronto and Hamilton have given him that amount since his return. Sherring's trip was a lesson in economy. When he left Hamilton he had in his pocket $250 that was raised by his friends, and he had his private bank deposit with him, the total amounting to about $405. Out of this he had to pay for his second-class passage to Athens, which ran away with about $75, and when he got there he found expenses piling up on every hand. His board, which was poor and meager, cost him $2.50 a day for over two months. What he got to eat consisted principally of rolls and coffee, and anything outside of that he had to buy for himself. Such items as meat and fruit were heavy extras. By the time he had paid his return passage by the Campania his money was all gone except about $20, and by the time he landed in New York he had dropped to $3. After winning the race he got everything for nothing, and had it not been for that he would have been strapped completely. While he was training $75 was raised at a concert in Hamilton, which reached him, but $100 that was cabled him on his victory never reached him, the express company claiming that it was sent too late. When he stepped off the Campania, jingling the few copperes remaining. T. M. Wright handed him $100 from the Hamilton fund, and that gave him plenty to go home with. Speaking of the matter, Sherring said: "There were times when I faced the probability of starving. I don't know what I would have done if I had lost the race. It was the closest shave I want to have in my life." BIG TRIBE CHOSE DEATH. Russian Natives Kill Families and Selves to Escape Starvation. St. Petersburg.—One of the most terrible stories of nomadic vicissitude ever told has just reached St. Petersburg. It is to the effect that an entire tribe, the Tshukutbees, numbering about 2,000, has just perished by its own act as the last avenue of escape from famine. The tribe inhabited one of the bleakest parts of Yakutsk and obtained a precarious subsistence by rearing reindeer. Early in 1905 a deadly disease appeared among the deer and by winter the entire herd had perished. The unfortunate people endured much, hoping that spring would bring some better prospects. This hope was disappointed and with slow starvation staring them in the face the elders of the tribe spent a day in discussing what should be done. The almost incredible decision was that each father should first kill his family and then himself. On the following day the appalling tragedy was carried out in the open air in a general assembly. The only exceptions were a few old men without families, who when left to themselves had not the determination necessary to commit suicide and some of them continued to drag on a miserable existence until they were found. PEEK-A-BOO-WAIST EVIL. Transparent Lingerie of Women Stirs Up Indignation of New York.—When congress has disposed of the beef scandals it may be called upon to consider the peek-a-boo walst. Rev. Father M. Schorner, of Rochester, Pa., who interrupted his sermon at St. Cecilia's Roman Catholic church on a recent Sunday to order two women in peek-a-boo walsts from the building, has created a precedent. He told his parishioners to go home and take off those "bathing suits," adding: "This is a church, not a bathing house." The attention of the purity organizations is thus politely directed to a threatening evil, and legislation may presently be demanded to prescribe the number and size of the holes in the "lingerle" walsts. CRUCIFIXION NOT ENOUGH. Tangler, Morocco.—According to advices from Marakesh, the cobbler, Mesfewl, convicted of the murder of 36 women whose bodies were found buried under his shop and in his garden, instead of being crucified, as had been intended, was walled up alive. Previous to his execution Mesfewl was subjected to daily foggings. While the masons were working they were surrounded by a mob which jeered Mesfewl. The first two days of his entombment the cobbler screamed continuously, but the third day the tomb gave forth no sound. Valuable Letter The sum of $2,400 was paid at an auction sale in Cologne the other day for an autograph letter of Durer which is of great biographical importance. To Encourage Emigration. A colonial exposition is being held at Metz, Germany, for the purpose of encouraging emigration to the African colonies. HUDSON JUBILEE CELEBRATION TO BE HELD ON THE RIVER IN 1909. Three Hundredth Anniversary of Exploration and One Hundredth of Steam Naviga New York.—Plans for the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of Henry Hudson's exploration of the river which bears his name and the hundredth anniversary of the first successful navigation of that river by a steamboat took tangible form the other day at a meeting of the Hudson-Fulton celebration executive committee, presided over by Gen. Stewart L. Woodford. It was decided that the celebration should take place the week beginning September 20, 1909, and that instead of a temporary "world's fair" there should be dedicated works of lasting benefit to the people. The first day of the celebration, it is arranged, will be devoted to a naval parade or aquatic pageant up the Hudson in which the navies of the world, and especially those of the Netherlands and Great Britain, shall be invited to participate, as well as all manner of merchant and pleasure craft. It is recommended that a feature be models of the vessels Half Moon and Clermont, the Netherlands being asked to provide the model of the former. The deep-draught vessels will go as far as Haverstraw bay, the Half Moon and Clermont, escorted by smaller craft, continuing as far north as Albany, stopping opposite the riverside villages and cities and forming the center of local demonstrations. The second day will be marked by a land parade and literary, historical and musical exercises. The third day, it is proposed, shall be devoted to the dedication of memorials. One of these will be the Hudson memorial bridge, extending from Inwood Hill to Spuyten Duyvill Hill, across Spuyten Duyvill creek at its confluence with the Hudson river. It is recommended that a public park be acquired on Inwood Hill, at the southern terminus of the bridge, and that suitable buildings or monuments be erected there. DEAD BACTERIA USED. New Method of Treating Consumption Introduced in London Hospital. London.—Theopsonite treatment for consumption is the most recent discovery of medical science to arouse the interest of the general public. A department is specially devoted to this study in a London hospital, where some 90 tests are made every week. The treatment is based upon the known function of white blood corpuscles, which is to assimilate and carry away diseased bacilli, but if certain organisms in the human body termed opsonins are not present in sufficient strength, the white corpuscles are unable to perform their function, and the disease makes headway accordingly. By a microscopical examination, if possible, it is determined whether the patient's power of resistance to microorganisms—that is, richness in opsonins—is above or below the average. If it is below the average, serums made of dead bacteria of the same variety as those causing the disease are injected, with the result that the patient's own body stimulates the manufacture of opsonins in which it is deficient. EMBARRASSES OIL MEN. New Regulations Put Indian Territory Operators to Much Uneasiness. Muskogee, I. T.—A new complication has arisen under the new oil lease regulations. It has been the custom for large operators to make a financial showing to the secretary of the interior covering $40,000, which entitled them to an approved lease on the full 4,800 acres to which they were entitled, so far as the money is concerned. Under the new regulations, where bonds have not been approved or leases perfected, these companies have to submit a banker's certificate showing that they have $40,000 on deposit, and that it is to be used to develop oil leases solely. This is going to embarrass some of the operators who have not the money on hand. Freaks of Maine Whirlwinds According to a Stoneham correspondent of the Norway (Me.) Advance a whirlwind started in front V. H. Littlefield's, frightening J. Bartlett's horse. Mr. Bartlett turned round in the road and went the other way and the whirlwind took a heavy wagon right up free from the ground and carried it quite a distance, and then another one came and give it a second shake and set it right side up; the third one came in the afternoon under Mrs. C. L. Bartlett's clothesline and carried her clothes up on the hill and hung them up in the oaks. If it had not been for Mr. Bartlett's presence of mind he would have been killed. No Philippine Exhibit The Philippines will not be represented by a government exhibit at the international exposition to be held in New Zealand from November next to May, 1907. Gov. Ide told Commissioner Gov that the exhibit at the St. Louis exposition was so expensive that the insular government had decided not to send an exhibit to New Zealand. BEAUTIFUL WOMAN FRAUD. Captures African Potentate in Matrimonial Bonds and Pays Debts. Vienna.—An interesting sequel to the exploits of an adventurer has just come to light. A few years ago a young woman attracted great attention in Vienna by reason of her beauty and her luxurious mode of living. She was a mystery to the Viennese. No one knew who she was or where she came from. At one time she would give herself the name of an old aristocratic family; on another occasion she would represent herself as the daughter of a titled Englishman. She was remarkably gifted. In spite of her youth she could speak a a dozen European languages, and was a first-class pianist. One day she suddenly disappeared and left behind her numerous unpaid bills. The creditors set the law in motion, but she could not be found. Subsequently the Viennese creditors learned that she had played the same game that marked her stay in the Austrian capital. She had contracted so many debts that, having reached the end of her tether, she caused an announcement of death to be sent to Vienna. Meanwhile she journeyed to the south of France, where she made the acquaintance of an African potentate, who invited her to become his wife—his third or fourth wife. He could permit himself this levity, for he is a Mohammedan. The adventures accepted the offer, went over to Islam, and has since resided with her husband. The latter has just settled up with the Parisian and Viennese creditors. INDIANS DROP OLD CUSTOM Arkansas City, Kan.—The Otto Indians lately returned to their reservation after spending a week visiting the Kaws near Kaw City. These visits usually occupy a longer time and the entire programme is taken up with dancing, reasting, smoking and the giving of gifts by the entertaining tribe. The visit just ended broke up a little sooner than was expected on account of a streak of inhospitality which developed in the Kaws. A number of the Kaws reached the conclusion that this custom of giving away everything they had and taking the risk of the other tribe returning the treatment at some later date was too much of a risk. They hesitated in this instance in warming up to their guests in the matter of giving them a large number of ponies and other Indian valuables. The Otoes became quite indignant, and had the time been 50 years ago there would probably have been a battle. As it was there was a pow-wow of the visitors and a few stench encounters took place. Wah-Shun-Gah, chief of the Kaws, stepped into the breach and prevented further hostilities. The visit was cut short and it will he some time before the Kaws are invited to the Otoe reservation. ATTACKED BY FLYING FISH Hognolulu.—The steamer Claudine was attacked by flying fish in the Hawaiian channel, between the Islands of Hawaii and Maul, a few days ago. The searchlight on the vessel evidently attracted and angered the fish. A large school of the fish suddenly rose out of the water and instead of flying away from the boat, as is usually the case with that variety of fish, they flew over the bow of the craft. One of them flew directly for the light and broke the glass, putting the light out of commission. A dozen fish reached the upper bridge of the vessel and two struck the side of the man on watch, nearly knocking him over. It has been noted by island captains that the searchlights seem to affect the flying fish in a very strange way. The fish evidently do not like the bright light cast upon the waters, for they invariably fly at the light, probably in an effort to extinguish it, after the fashion of moths trying to extinguish a candle. YOUNGEST VETERAN FOUND Kansas City Veteran Who Served in the Civil War When Under Eleven. Springfield, Ill.—Perhaps the really youngest soldier in the union army of the civil war has been discovered at last. We have in Springfield a veteran who at 13 years of age was driving the artillery horses at Gettysburg in the hottest place of the second day. But it seems that Gilbert Van Zandt, now a vigorous young man of 55, past commander of the Grand Army at Kansas City, enlisted as drummer boy in the Seventy-ninth Ohio regiment, August 6, 1862, being then ten years seven months and sixteen days old. He served until the close of the war. During Sherman's march to the sea he was dispatch carrier; his father was sergeant in the same company. He was described in his discharge papers as "13 years old and four feet high." Lottery Tickets in Turkey. Recent regulations in Turkey aim to abolish completely the sale within the empire of foreign lottery tickets. Any receiver, seller, buyer or holder of a foreign lottery ticket is now liable to prosecution, incurring a fine of $4.40 to $13.20 for the first offense and $13.20 to $44 for a second conviction. SIMPLE LIFE SAVES STRIKING PRINTERS FIND THE DEATH RATE REDUCED. Chicago—Since Chicago printers struck for the eight-hour day the death rate of the organization has been cut in half, according to v. C. Harding, an officer of the union, who also is a member of the board of education. The union has 3,500 members. Prior to the year ending last April the annual death rate among printers has been 40. The last year, during which most of the men have been on strike, or working eight hours a day instead of nine hours, there were only 18 deaths. Outside the business offices of the union in the Open Board of Trade-building is a spacious lounging-room, where any day a score or more of striking printers may be found. They usually are smoking and reading. If the smoke clears away sufficiently to permit of a clear view, it will be found that the "prints" are reading the life or Horace Greeley, Herbert Spencer's works, the Typographical Union Journal, the daily papers, or other thoughtful printed things. When informed of the low death rate among their fellows, most of these serene-looking readers advanced some reason for the happy condition. "It's the simple life we lead," said one of the strikers, as he glanced up, peering over his glasses and marking his place in the book with one finger. "It's a wonder more working printers do not die, with the stuff they have to copy, the close workrooms and the nerve-destroying noise of machinery. "Now, take me for an example. For nine months I have not worked. Having only ten dollars a week in strike benefits, I have had to economize. I eat less, yet I have gained flesh. Instead of riding on the street cars I walk. I probably walk ten miles a day. "Of course, when I go to work again, I will have to work eight hours. That last hour at work is a long one, and the shorter day lengthens a man's life I am sure." He was interrupted in his philosophy by a great uproar in the court below. Wheat had dropped off or gone up a half cent, or some other remarkable event had occurred in the pit of the minor wheat speculators. When it died into a sullen murmur the thoughtful idler continued. "I wonder what the death rate is among those people down there?" he asked, closing his book on the finger. "They are in a constant nervous state. They worry when they are behind, and are anxious for more when they are ahead. They should go on strike and taste the delight of doing nothing, of being at peace with ten dollars a week sure and the public library available, walking ten miles a day, eating less and thinking more on abstract things. Since going on strike I have found from government reports that the people of this country produce enough to give every breadwinner $2,500 a year, if it were not wasted in competition, and if the distribution were handled as scientifically as is production." GIRLS AS DEPUTY SHERIFFS Young Women of New York Town Are Commissioned as Peace Officers. White Plains, N. Y.—Two women deputy sheriffs, the first ever appointed in Westchester county, have received their badges from Sheriff James S. Merritt. They are Miss Jessie Long, of White Plains, and her friend, Miss Agnes Kennedy, of Peekskill. Sheriff Merritt, since he has been in office, has received numerous applications from women who wish to be deputy sheriffs, but he has refused them all. The appointment of the Misses Long and Kennedy was made, it was announced, because they are well-known charity workers, and in the employ of the county as agents to investigate homes where it is decided to put children. Sheriff Merritt jocularly told the young women that they might be called out at any time to stop prize fights and to aid him in running down criminals. The thing that is puzzling the officials at the courthouse is where the new deputies will carry their clubs and revolvers. Highest Shipping Dock. A dock, which has probably the highest altitude in the world, has recently been completed at Port Florence, on the Victoria Nyanza, in Uganda, Africa, at an altitude of 3,800 feet above sea level. The dock has been constructed to accommodate the Nyanza fleet plying on the lake in conjunction with the Uganda railroad. It measures 250 feet in length by 48 feet wide and 14 feet deep. It was excavated out of solid rock by native labor and occupied 12 months in construction, at a cost of $20,000. Giraffes Stop Messages. The latest interruption in the telegraph service on the Victoria falls line, reports the Bulawayo Chronicle, has been caused by a herd of giraffes becoming entangled by their necks in the wires at Intundhla, and pulling about a mile down. In two former cases elephants were responsible. Grain from Argentina. Grain from Argentina Argentinas exports of grain in the first quarter, of 1906 fell considerably below 1905; wheat 70,000 tons, corn 120,000 tons, and linseed 120,000 tons. REGICIDES ARE RETIRED. Belgrade.—The five regicide officers whom King Peter retired from the army on full pay in order once more to establish diplomatic relations with Great Britain and also to account for his own fears participated as follows in the horrible tragedy of three years ago: Col. Popovitch; who was apparently devoted to King Alexander and Queen Draga, worked for two years drawing young officers into the plot. He drew up a detailed plan of action and took a train from Nish to Belgrade on the night of the murder. He immediately took the lead with Col. Mashin in the slaughter. Col. Mashin was Queen Draga's brother-in-law. He had fallen into disfavor and joined the conspiracy. He assisted at all the meetings of the conspirators, donned a uniform on the night of the murder and presented himself at the fortress as the new commander. He led the troops to the palace. When he arrived there the king and queen and Gen. Petrovitch, the commander, had not yet been discovered. With his help they were found and murdered. Lieut. Col. Mishitch had long been suspected as being a malcontent. The minister of war had overlooked him for promotion, and although King Alexander made amends by summoning him to the palace and personally conferring upon him the rank of lieutenant colonel, Mishitch never forgot the slight and took the most active part in the crime and assisted at the death scene. Lieut. Col. Lazarovitch was frequently in disgrace under the former regime, and only remained in the army through the influence of his relatives. He played a sanguinary part in the tragedy and with his own hand stabbed both the king and the queen. Capt. Kostitch was the commander of the royal guard. He had been loaded with favors by King Alexander, but having failed twice in the examination for the rank of major, joined the conspiracy to better his prospects. RELIEVED OF HICCOUGHS. After Year's Suffering Philadelphia Girl Is Successfully Treated. Philadelphia.—The horror of seeing a boy crushed beneath a trolley car more than a year ago brought to Mary Doshotehy, 18 years old, of 225 Federal street, an attack of hiccups that lasted until recently, when it left her. Just what remedy deserves the credit for the cure, the girl says she is unable to decide. It was neither hypnotism nor mesmerism; of that she is sure. For 21 days she received treatment that included cauterizing of the upper part of the body and magnetic and electric massage, and at the end of that period she was pronounced cured. "One physician had me mesmerized," she said. "Others used other forms of hypotism. A friend recommended that I should stand upon my head for an hour. I did this, but the only result was a headache in addition to the hiecoughs. I received some kind of a prune juice from a 'voodeo' doctor in San Francisco and all sorts of liniments from Germany and Brazil. "At one of the hospitals they even filled me with liquor to drown the hiecoughs. All of the remedies proved absolutely useless, and I was gradually becoming weaker and weaker. But then came the cauterizing, the magnetic and electric massage, and at last I was cured." AGUINALDO A REFORMER. Former Filipino General Denounces Gambling as Bane of the Islanders. aMnila.-Fillipino political parties are starting a campaign in preparation for the election of delegates to the Filipino assembly next year. Old party lines are becoming extinct, and the progressive natives are endeavoring to effect stronger organizations. The nationalists are practically disorganized by factional rights, and the federal party has been split. Many of the conservative members have resigned from the federalists and that organization is in a chaotic state. Aguinaldo has come out of retirement to give a long interview to a local paper on the evils of gambling among the people. Native leaders of all parties are taking up the question of gambling, and are working with the Americans for government prohibition of cockpits. Aguinaldo says that the present depressed condition of the island is the result to a great extent of this vice, and has promised to attend a public meeting to secure the suppression of the evil. Man-Eating Hippo A story of a man-eating hippopotamus comes from the neighborhood of Barberton, in the Transvaal. It is asserted that the animal came out of a river, walked into a kralal and seized a small native boy in its mouth, crushing him to death. The natives then turned out, killed the animal and ate it. Motor Barges in Europe. Motor barges which use petroleum at a cost of 22 cents an hour, are in common use on European continental waters. The first has just been imported by an English firm of carriers, for use on the Thames. Its speed is seven and a half knots. THE BUSINESS LEAGUE AND THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT. There are in this country two national organizations among the colored people. One is the National Business League, which Mr. Booker T. Washington is president, and the other is the Niagara Movement, of which Mr. Du Bois is secretary or national head, so to speak. The object of one is to teach the colored masses how to accumulate property and conduct business. The aim of the other is to teach manhood rights. Both organizations are valuable and one is as helpful as the other. Manhood rights without property and a knowledge of business cannot perpetuate a people, and on the other hand you cannot hold to your property and conduct your business without manhood rights. Would it not be a good idea to combine both of these great organizations? The accumulation of property and a thorough knowledge of business will command respect and give to the colored man that standing in the business world that he has not heretofore possessed and place him in a position whereby he can command his manhood rights which is the impetus of the Niagara Movement. What is mostly needed among the colored people is union of their leadership and not a division. The colored man in business will convince the more fortunate race that equality of citizenship can be best obtained when the colored man demonstrates his ability to do and to act as his more fortunate brother. To do this, however, there must be a combination of forces. Such a combination can only be realized by the representatives of the forces getting together. What has the National Business League accomplished since its organization? It is able to pay a national organizer a good yearly salary. It has united the business element among the colored people and it can do more when eevry element unite. What has the Niagara Movement accomplished since its organization? In this city there is one individual connected with it, who imagines that he is a leader and the existence of the movement in this city depends upon him. He is a nonentity at his home in Tennessee and amounts but to little in this city if anything. The declaration of principles of this organization is all that can be hoped for and when this one obstacle is removed' or his power curtailed it is believed that more headway can be made in this city. The advice of The Bee is, let the forces combine and fight the enemy. Let Du Bois and Washington unite their forces for the good of the race they both represent. The political leader among the colored people has been a failure. Office seeking and the false hopes that have held out to the colored man by political parties and more especially the Republican party, have subordinated and humiliated his manhood rights. The Bee has refrained from expressing its opinion on the Ransom-Council affair at Normal, Ala., because it has been in doubt. The Bee is in possession of several communications and affidavits bearing on the case, and if these letters and affidavits are true Mr. Ransom is in the wrong and Prof. Council is not to blame. The colored press throughout the country, with but few exceptions have printed only one side of this controversial which has placed Professor Council in an embarrassing position. If what Prof. Council and others state is true Mr. Ransom received better treatment from the school than what he deserves. Dr. Ransom is one of those fresh individuals, some say who know him, and they are not surprised at the manner in which he was treated by the Southern whites. Mr. Ransom should have gone to Alabama in a quiet manner and if he desired to display his knowledge of French he should have waited until after he had delivered his address at Normal, Ala. The Bee declines to publish the many communications in its possession because it will do no good, but it will say from what it has, it is of the opinion that Prof. Council acted the part of a man, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Ransom failed to carry out his part of the contract. AN APARTMENT STORE. A subscriber writes to The Bee to ascertain what it means by an apartment store, of which brief editorial mention was made last week. This means a store that contains several apartments of merchandise, conducted by colored people, a store that will contain a sufficient number of apartments to employ our boys and girls who have nothing to do after they leave school. What inducement is held out to our boys and girls after they leave school? Colored men who have money, always make an effort to build large houses or hotels and rent them out to white people; they will not invest their money whereby the masses are benefited. Efforts will be made therefore to build in this city a large apartment store and employ hundreds of our boys and girls. The colored people will be given an opportunity to show their race pride. To the regret of this paper the True Reformers' grocery store in True Reformers' Hall was closed this week. Chief Griffin, the most successful chief that has ever been placed at the head of the local organization in this city, has done all in his power to conduct that store in the interest of the order and the colored people. There are 4,000 members connected with the organization in this city and it is not believed that one hundred of its members patronized the store. Chief Griffin had three clerks employed and would have had three dozen employed had he receive proper support from the people. It is claimed that an apartment store will succeed in this city if it is properly managed and patronized. Here is where the ministers have an opportunity to show their race pride and loyalty. This store will contain at least 15 or 20 apartments and it is the desire of the managers to employ from 200 to 300 persons. The enterprise will be laid before the people in a public meeting some time in July. It is hoped that the ministers of the several churches will lay the matter before their members and urge them to attend. Something must be done for our boys and girls. Although we have failures in this city, white people have failures; why not colored people? Definite notice will be given the people at the proper time. THE NEW SCHOOL BOARD. There are hundreds of applicants for membership on the new Board of Education. Just why there are so many applicants for a place that doesn't pay any salary The Bee is at a loss to know. Chief Justice Clabaugh is besieged with applicants and delegations in the interest of applicants. The Bee is particularly interested in the colored applicants because the white population will attend to the others. The most amusing things that confront the judges are the charges each applicant makes against the other. Some charge that there are applicants who have heretofore attempted to pass for white. Some others claim that certain applicants are too black. Others charge immorality, while some others charge ignorance. Now if the Chief Justice can succeed in selecting colored members of the board he will do more than the colored population This is small business that many resort to in an effort to defeat worthy men. There are to be one colored woman and two colored men appointed on the Board of Education. Will the judges succeed in appointing persons who will be acceptable to the people? This question of school trustees has been a bother ever since the establishment of public schools in the District of Columbia. Many of the old school trustees have had personal axes to grind. Many a worthy teacher has been rejected on account of her color, social standing and lack of influence. Our graduates from the schools have been ignored and outside teachers have monopolized our schools. The poor washerwoman's daughter has been put behind simply because she has no social standing. It is hoped that the judges will canvass the field thoroughly and none but competent and worthy persons be appointed on the new Board of Education. GREATER CRIMES It is no question of conjecture by whom greater grimes are committed, the white or the colored race. The country does a piece of howling when a colored man commits a small offense, such as snatching a lady's pocketbook, or if he speaks to a lady unknown to him while passing by. Efforts will be made to urge upon Congress to increase the police force and withdraw officers from unnecessary stations and place them in the woods to apprehend pocketbook snatchers. Millions of dollars may be stolen from the government, dastardly crimes are committed upon roof gardens, and other and more heinous crimes are committed, but the offenders are called heroes and their acts are commended. If such a murder as Thaw committed had been the act of a colored man, in the presence of ladies, the American press would have taken it as an argument against him. Colored men do no begin to commit such offenses as white men commit, and yet they are called brutes and uncivilized beings. The murder of White by Thaw was dastardly and cowardly. The New York society will overlook this offense and do all in its power to acquit the murderer. COLOR PREJUDICE AND THE GOVERNMENT. Right nuder the nose of the administration and under the department of Secretary Shaw, the color line in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and other departments of the Treasury is being tightly drawn. In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing highly educated colored girls are not given the same accommodations as white girls of inferior birth and social standing. In many instances the colored girls are not given clean towels and neither are they given decent wash basins. The Bee hope that Secretary Shaw will send his representative over to the Bureau between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock and at lunch time and see how systematically the colored employees are separated from the other help in that branch of his department. It is not necessary, Mr. Secretary, to ask who is responsible. You are aware that someone in authority knows that this discrimination is going on. In the Sixth Auditor's office similar conditions obtain. Now if the government permits discrimination what may be expected from individuals on the outside? Will the Secretary remedy this evil? WILL DO GOOD WORK The Afro-American Council, an organization which is doing a good work in its advocacy of the rights of the negro, meets in this city in August. Bishop Walters, the president, is very desirous of making this meeting the most successful in its history and to this end is leaving nothing undone to accomplish this. If properly managed this organization could accomplish much good and should receive the support of the entire race. We trust that the best people will co-operate with Bishop Walters in this great work. Vice-President Fairbanks has been indorsed for President by the Republicans of North Carolina. The son of Senator Proctor has been nominated for governor of Vermont. He believes in equality of citizenship. General Nelson Miles spoke in Lincoln, Nebraska, last week and he didn't speak very complimentary of those who are oppressing the dark races. General Miles is a true American. There is one thing certain, that is that the colored voters in this country will not support Taft, Root or any other man, if they thought President Roosevelt had anything to do with him. The colored voters are learning some sense. There are all sorts of candidates for the Board of Education. The judges have decided not to appoint politicians, because many of them know have wintered the artful beings. Many of the candidates are being given the black eye. HAIL TO THE GLORIOUS FOURTH Hail! to the grand old glorious fourth. Let the children shout with glee Let the cannons roar Let the eagles soar Let the fire-works reud the sky Let the boys march forth with their banners gay Let the stars and stripes float high. Hail! to the grand old glorious! fourth Let the freedmen shout for joy, Let the men who'll-fight For the cause of right' March forth to the bugle's call.. Let them thunder forth 'gainst that giant misrnie Till his tottering towers shall fall. Haill to the grand old glorious! fourth Let the echo shake this land, Let the sound go forth To the North and South. 'Tis the sound of freedmen's cry That the cause of might shall not down the right While Jehovah rules on high. So far there are four candidates in the field for the Presidential race, viz.: Vice President Fairbanks, Secretary of War Taft, Elihu Root and Uncle Joe Cannon. We wonder who will win, and whether the negro will receive better treatment than he has during the last few years. Every negro who can should enter business, no matter how humble. It is much better to be your own boss than be the paid slave of unprincipled employers. We find that the colored brother always gets the wrong end of the stick when it comes to work, hours and wages. We notice that in the Southwest a large number of colored people are in business and work together both white and black. There is very little color prejudice in South Washington. Judge Thomas B. Youngblood of Boonville, Ind., has tried 8,000 cases and once married a couple that had the smallpox. He also married 300 couples.

NEW CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH RECENTLY DEDICATED IN BOSTON Beautiful Edifice Has Cost Nearly Two Million Dollars—Higher Than Bunker Hill Monument. 1113 Boston.—Rising above therof tops the church spires of the Black Bay district, and reaching a height loftier than Bunker Hill monument, looms the magnificent new cathedral of Christian Science, at once the largest, the costliest church edifice in this part of the country and one of the most remarkable church structures in the world. It was dedicated on Sunday, June 10. It is two years since the corner stone was laid, and day and night since then more than 300 men have been employed to hurry the structure to completion. It is 12 years since the first church of this new denomination was built, and 30 years ago in July the first Christian Science was formally organized. The cathedral adjoins the "mother" church, as the one built 12 years ago is called. This is at the junction of Norway and Furmouth streets and ex- ```markdown ``` tends back to St. Paul's. The builders planned for an auditorium which would be the largest in New England in its seating capacity. Space was provided for more than a mile of magnificent mahogany pews, which give a seating capacity of 5,000, which is more than five times the capacity of the old South church, more than three times that of Trinity and twice that of Tremont temple or the cathedral of the Holy Cross. The auditorium contains seven galleries, two on each side and three at the back, all so arranged that not a pillar or post interrupts the view of the platform from any seat. The roof of the auditorium rises to a height of 108 feet from the floor, the entire weight being borne by four arches resting on four massive stone piers. BLIND GIRL IS A LAWYER. Leads Graduating Class in California School—Will Take Up Music as Livelihood. New York.—Miss Christine La Barraque, now 28 years old, who has been blind since she was a baby, is a lawyer. She was graduated at the head of a law class in a California law school, and has been admitted to the bar in that state. Miss La Barraque is a remarkable young woman. She is a graduate of the University of California, a finished linguist, an accomplished equestrienne and a musician. She is now in this city completing her musical education. Getting her degree, she announced that her ambition was to become a lawyer. The professors told her it was absurd, but she insisted and became a night school teacher to earn enough money to carry her through the law school. There were 75 men in the class, and at the end only 39 remained. ```markdown ``` MISS CHRISTINE LA BARRAQUE (Blind Girl Who Has Been Admitted to the Bar in California.) In the final examination Miss La Barraque led them all.

The dome is more than twice the size of the dome on the state house. Notwithstanding the greater elevation of the site of the capitol building the church dome rises to a greater height. The top of the state house dome is 110 feet from the street and the street is 100 feet from the level. The christian Science dome is 224 feet above the street, and the street there is only 15 feet above the sea level. The state house dome has a diameter of 73 feet and a height of 35, while the church dome is 82 feet in diameter and 51 feet high. The area occupied by the church is 42,000 square feet. The first course material in granite from Mrs Eddy's home, Concord, N. H. Above that the material is Bedford stone. The semil domes, the domes and the cupola are of gray seml-glazed terra cotta. This auditorium is up one flight. The first ```markdown ``` floor contains two stone and marble columns. In the center is the Sunday school room, with a seating capacity of 700. As far as possible the building is fireproof. The interior finish is of marble and Bedford stone. The seven staircases are of bronze, marble, Bedford stone and steel. The church cost nearly $2,000,000. It was erected by popular subscription. A remarkable feature is that the building is entirely free from debt. Twice in the history of the Christian Science church in Boston it has been found necessary to invite the members to discontinue contributions to its building fund—once in 1895, when the original church was dedicated, and again now when it was found that more than enough money had been received to pay for the extension of the church.

Fink, a MHwaukee architect, was the successful designer of the monument, which will be erected at a cost of $10,000, which has been appropriated by the state legislature of Wisconsin. Georgia granite, which has been pronounced equal to Wisconsin granite by the state geologist, will be used in the construction of the monument. The inscription tablet, however, will be of Wisconsin granite. The monument is to be completed by fall. The kalser's latest fad is photography in three colors.

BELL-CORDOZA Though the month of June has been so stormy that it could be called the month of rain instead of that of roses, on last Monday the clouds rolled back like a scroll to permit the blessed sunlight of heaven to bear witness, as it were, to a marriage that had already been sanctioned in heaven—that of Miss Helen Bell to Dr. F. J. Cordoza The ceremony was solemnized at the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. Samuel Lacy, 1732 10th street, N.

Gibbs, ex-United States consul to Madagascar and at one time municipal judge of Little Rock, Ark., was a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and, in addition to the Washington Conservatory of Music, founded largely by the aid of her father, she also founded a conservatory at Cave Springs, Ky. The goom, Mr. N. B. Marshall, is a Harvard man, a graduate of the class of '97. He is also a graduate of the Harvard Law School and a member of the Massachusetts bar. In 1902 he was appointed deputy collector of taxes of Boston, by the late Mayor Patrick A. Collins, which position he recently resigned. Mr. Marshall is especially well known as the quarter-mile runner in the Harvard track team, from 1893 to 1897. He is a native of Washington and received his first education in the schools of the District. The wedding was celebrated after the modified Episcopal service, the Rev. Dr. Grimke officiating, as stated. The ceremony took place in the conservatory, which was profusely bedecked with flowers and palms for the occasion. The bride wore a Parisian gown of white crepe de chine trimmed with handmade lace, and carried a huge shower bouquet of bridal roses. The veil was wreathed with orange blossoms. The bridesmaids were Miss Alzina Marshall, sister of the groom, and Miss Imogene Wormley. The best man was Mr. William Clarence Matthews, famous as base ball and foot ball player of the Harvard class of 1905. The second best man was Mr. Haley Douglass, grandson of Frederick Douglass, also a graduate of Harvard, class of 1905. The ushers were Messrs. John W. F. Smith, secretary to Superintendent of Schools A. T. Stuart; Amphas Glenn, an Oberlin graduate of the class of 1904, and Douglass Wetmore of the New York bar. In the evening from 7 until 10 o'clock a reception was held in the conservatory. A special orchestra furnished music, while a bevy of young misses graced the room especially set apart for the presents, which were both numerous and costly. The bridal couple left on the 10.40 train for Oberlin, Ohio, where the bride will receive an honorary degree voted her by the faculty of the Oberlin Conservatory in recognition of her accomplishments since graduation. CONTEE-YOUNG The marriage of Miss Ester Etta Contee, the sweet and pleasing daughter of Mrs. Laura V. Contee of 1614 12th st. N. W., to Mr. Geo. A. Young of Detroit, Mich., was solemnized Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev. F. J. Grimkie, pastor of the 15th Street Presbyterian Church, performed the ceremony. Miss Contee, the bride, was for a number of years a teacher in the public schools of this city. She is from one of the oldest and best known families in this city. Etta, as she is known among her companions and in the schools, is a young lady of pleasing address. Precisely at 4 o'clock the bridal party entered the parlor, preceded by little Rebecca Evans, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Evans, the ring-bearer, followed by Master Willie Evans and Contee Cook with the kneeling pillow, with little Willie Henderson of New York, the son of Mrs. Pet Henderson, as the flower boy. Little Eunice Johnson and Bennie Burrell, ribbon bearers. The next in order were Mrs. L. V. Contee, mother of the bride, who was handsomely gowned in black silk greenidier and lace trimmings. Mrs. Geo, S. Contee, of Denver, Col., sister-in-law of the bride, was dressed in batist trimmed with German vola over green silk. Mrs. W. E. Steers of Decatur, Ala., sister of the groom, was beautifully dressed in white taffeta silk. Mrs. Pet Henderson of New York, sister of the bride, wore a white vola princess and lace body. Mrs. Lucinda S. Mitchell, white vola, semi-traine. Mrs. M. M. Cook sister of the bride, was dressed in white PERRIE W. FRISBY, ATTORNEY.

Doom of an Attraction Similar to the One of Chicago World's Fair Fame. London.—At the end of the summer one of London's most famous land- marks will disappear. This is the big wheel at Earl's court, which, after an eleven-year existence, is to be pulled down, and the work of destruction is expected to cost more than $50,000. In 1893 a company was formed and erected the gigantic wheel, 300 feet in diameter, at a cost of $300,000. The wheel was constructed on the same plan as the Ferris wheel, built at the world's fair in Chicago. The latter was transported to St. Louis and was destroyed there by dynamite a few weeks ago. The idea of seeing London in this way soon "caught on," and 2,500 people have made the leisurely journey. As the charge is one shilling they have paid over $100,000 for the privilege of doing so. The year after it was opened the wheel received its biggest advertisement. At 8:15 one night it suddenly stopped, and all efforts to restart it were unsuccessful. Sixty passengers were in the cars, and, as the time went by, messages on paper came fluttering down to the attendants. One appeal read: "No. 8 car from bottom on N. E. side. Get a rocket sent up with a string attached, so that we can get some food up. We shall eat one another soon. Be quick." After a long time some sailors were found who climbed up the supports with food and drink. With this the 60 passengers had to be content until seven o'clock the following morning when, amid great cheering from the passengers and hundreds of relatives and friends who had assembled, the great wheel once more revolved. The company presented each passenger with $25, and next day the wheel was packed from morning till night with passengers, who hoped that something would again go wrong with the machinery. PARASITES ARE WELCOMED Foes of Brown Tailed-Moth Being Brought to the United States. New York.—Prof. Trouvelot, scientist, brought certain brown-tailed moths to this country years ago for experimental purposes. A vagrant breeze wafted a nest of the caterpillars afar. They multiplied so fast that today the pest is almost national. Congress appropriated $100,000 to find a remedy for the evil, and the agricultural department sent a man abroad to look for it. This expert has invested in 5,000,000 parasites, guaranteed to eat up the brown-tailed moth to the last hair. The immigrants are on their way to America. A laboratory has been fitted up at Saugus, Mass., to receive them. Five million parasites have never been so warmly welcomed to these shores before. Beard at Auction. A man's beard 14 feet long is to be sold in a few days at Stevens' auction-rooms in Covent Garden. It is the longest beard in the world, and was the personal property of the late Amos Broadhurst, who was, because of it, one of the freaks exhibited by Barnum & Bailey.

Washington, D. C. * New Word for Englishmen. "Electrobus" is a word that is likely to be accepted in London before long. The London Chronicle has this to say of words of similarly bad make-up: "The last edition of Webster has had to admit 'electrocute' (under protest, as a newspaper word), although the final syllable of the Latin participle 'secutus,' borrowed from 'execute,' is as meaningless as the final syllable lopped from 'omnibus.' Even before that 'electroller' had forced its way in, with its barbarous 'ller' from 'chandeller,' in which the 'l' belongs to the candle part of the word. These 'electro' violences to language seem to be inevitable, though 'electro' itself means only amber and should, strictly, be 'electrico' in such compounds." Identity Belongs to Artist. A Paris court has decided that an artist remains master of the identity of his work after he has sold it, and that the substitution of any other name on it entitles him to damages. JUSTICE BROWN RETIRES. Michigan Jurist Quits United States Supreme Bench After Fifteen Years' Service. Washington, — Aassociate Justice Henry B. Brown has retired from the bench of the United States supreme court, after serving since 1831. It is understood that he will be succeeded by William H. Taft, at present secretary of war. On the minutes of the supreme court there has been spread a letter to Justice Brown signed by Chifaf Jus- N. tice Fuller and Associate Justices Harlan, Brewer, White and Peckham, expressing their regret over his retirement and testifying to their high appreciation of his services on the bench. Justice Brown made a suitable reply. The retiring justice was 70 years old last March. He ascended the bench in January, 1891. Previous to that year he had been United States judge for the Eastern district of Michigan, from 1875 until 1890. NEW BREED OF FOWLS. Ingenuity of New Jersey Farmer Overcomes the Annoyance of Scratching. New York.—A New Jersey farmer has developed a breed of hens that ought to prove popular. For a number of years he had been annoyed by a neighbor's hens scratching in his garden, so he set about devising a strain of hens that would stay at home and not annoy the neighbors. He says he has succeeded. The new breed of fowls has legs of uneven length. The right leg is about six inches long and the left leg four. Owing to this inequality in underpinning a hen is unable to take steps of equal length. When she endeavors to wander any distance from the coop she walks in a circle and soon finds herself back at her own door. Furthermore, there can be no scratching by hens with mismated legs. When a hen stands on the short leg the long one is put out of business and when she stands on the long one the short one can't reach the ground. CANVASSING BY TELEPHONE London Solicitors Have New Way of Adding to Burdens of Feminine Population. London.—The telephone, now installed in so many private houses, is likely to be turned into a troublesome adjunct of life if the new method of employing it for advertisement and canvassing purposes be pursued. The following is an illustration: "Ring-a-ting went the bell of the telephone in my private house at teatime. "Ringer—Are you 0000 Kensington? "Receiver—Yes. "Ringer—Is Mrs. S—at home?" "Receiver—She is. Who shall I say wants her? "Ringer—I am So-and-so, a dealer in— "Receiver—A what? "Ringer—A dealer in—. Kindly tell Mrs. S—that I am taking this means of canvassing for customers. My address is (address given), and I am in a position to offer her advantageous terms. "The servant duly reported the conversation to the mistress of the house. She feels that a new terror will be added to the telephone if this kind of canvassing becomes popular. "The fact that the social hour of five o'clock, at which hour Mrs. S—was entertaining callers, was selected by the dealer for her venture did not indicate that she possessed finesse." Philippine Hemp Crop Short. Exporters report a shortage of the hemp crop amounting to 100,000 bales, valued at $2,000,000. Drought and a typhoon in September caused the slump. Statistics forecast that the production for the first five months of 1806 will be 10,000 bales less than for the same time last year. Prices are high and continue to advance. Exporters expect that the crop next year will reach the normal amount. IF YOU WALTA PLACE To Board ADVERTISE HOLME'S Hotel 333 Vc Ave., S. W.

Harmony Department, No. 71, meet INGENIOUS OUTDOOR COOKING ARRANGEMENTS IN 'FRISCO. People of the Ruined City Take Readily to Open Air Style of Livin, Under Sore Affliction. San Francisco Chronicle.—Mother Necessity was never busier than now. Inventions were never so numerous; ingenuity was never so profitably exercised. The people have settled down to street living as a matter of course and the pater sits calmly on a soap box against the curio, beside a pot of stew, holding a wooden poker in one hand, a newspaper in the other and a pipe in his mouth, with as little concern as he formerly planted his heels under the dining room table and read the headlines to the family. The matter comes to the door twice every five minutes to ask if the coffee's boiling—what she really wants is a line on dad's capability as a teakettle fireman—and the kids, meanwhile, are either out hustling wood or just hangin' on, wondering if there will be enough to go round, and there always is. Under present conditions it is natural that some families should be more comfortable than others in their arrangements, for curbstone housekeeping; but this time the poorer classes win. The laboring man has 100 practical ideas stored in his brain, where the man who hasn't seen a kitchen since he was a boy is absolutely helpless. Thus it is that the street kitchens range from two piles of bricks, open at both ends and uncovered, with a five-gallon oil can shoyed in between, to a modern summer kitchen, containing a mortared brick furnace, with a long stovepipe to carry off the smoke and soot; its walls lined with cooking utensils and dishes, and just to show the nature of the inhabitants, its roof surmounted by a flagpole, flaunting Old Glory. When the order first went forth prohibiting indoor fires, many had it figured that the inconvenience would last for a couple of days only, and made no special efforts to cook outside, a loaf of bread and a pot of coffee being considered a sufficient menu for the restricted season. But the wise ones got busy with fallen chimneys and built miniature furnaces, sometimes three or four feet in height. Over these they spread their oven urates, which served equally well for boiling coffee, steeping tea, frying eggs and meat or cooking stews. Then came the stiff winds, which blew ashes and cinders into the open utensils. The spirit of the wise man rebelled against the grimy invasion. Wind breaks were required. The nearest and easiest way to obtain them was from the bill boards which enclosed practically every vacant lot in the city. Only an example was required. The attack upon the inanimate exploiters of public amusements became general. By the time the neighbors had dulled their axes there was nothing left of the bill boards but an offer of $50 reward for the arrest of any person caught mutilating them. The result was that when day dawned on the Saturday following the disaster a majority of the street kitchens were well sheltered from the wind and rain, and many were completely boarded, curtains, canvas, tar paper and other adequate material being used to cover the wooden frames. SIMPLE LIFE IN PARLIAMENT London.—Some of the labor members of the house of commons are beginning to tell tales out of school. One of them recently informed an audience that not all the 200 members of the House who are supposed to be teetotalers deserve the name, for he had seen some of them takling wine with their dinner. He declines to name them, and rejoices that temperance is making great strides in the west. There were only 40 teetotallers in the last parliament, while there are perhaps 120 now. A tale is told of how the other evening a member of the kitchen committee of the house gazed heartbrokenly into the dining rooms, where over 100 dinners were being eaten. Not ten members were drinking wine. He declared that the members were eating the kitchen committee into the bankruptcy court. The new shilling dinner is becoming increasingly popular. Unfortunately, it does not yield as much profit, while the accompanying glass of water yields less. The menu of yesterday's shilling dinner was roast loin of veal, braised ham, spinach, roast saddle of mutton, potatoes boiled, mashed, baked and fried, cabbage, custard pudding, apple tart, Gheddar and Cheshire cheese, and bread and butter. Preacher Has Big Parish. Having his parishioners scattered over an area of 100 miles long by 70 wide, and traveling by team 660 to 800 miles each month, is the experience of O. E. Tell, Sunday-school missionary for Stanley county, South Dakota, the only preacher and organizer in that immense circuit. In his present field he preaches at ten different points, and has four fully organized Sunday schools. Six horses are required to stand his driving. Other preachers of different denominations there are at homesteaders, but Mr. Tell, being on a salary, alone can claim the immense circuit, which now is without church buildings. WORLD'S BIGGEST PAINTING MAY BE CUT UP. Canvas Upon Which Artist Labored for Thirty-Two Years Has an Unfortunate Chicago.—The biggest painting in the world, "Golgotha," is threatened with an unheroic end. After being sold by the United States citizen house in Chicago for $650, it is a danger of being cut up into theater containers. For 32 years the artist Jan Sank labored upon the canvas, and during the last five years he was assisted by his son. When completed it is said to have sold for $4,000. The purchaser being a European artist. For several years the painting was bibited in Paris. Later it was a various European cities, and finally brought to America. A year or more ago the was placed on exhibition in An old church at No. 1421 M nue was prepared for it, and was invited to view th which is a graphic representation the crucifixion of Christ When the painting was this country it was placed The duty on it was $20 was expected to take the to Europe this tax was hence. Finally, when it be ent that the painting was main in Chicago, the colle the duty. In doing so the been sold three times, the sales not having been confirm federal court. The first successful biltow the painting was Thomas S K who bought it for $1,200. The court ered this sum too small, and the ing was put up at auction and W. Boone bought it for $1,200. Again the court, refused to let it go was resold to Solomon L. L. who a lawyer, and L.N. Weinga manager of the Trocadero theater. During the final sale there were several bidders, among them a Christian ministers and a number of Jews. This fact was commenced as a singular incident in the history of the great canvas. The prafter wanted the picture for church installations. Mr. Lowenthal and Mr. Wengartz have no definite purpose in view. The latter believes the painting could be divided into four theater contains while the figure of Christ could be made a picture by itself and sold to a church. The painting was to have been exhibited at the St. Louis work fair, but owing to complications that arose it did not reach America in Chicago it has been viewed by many people, but the expenses exceed the income, and the venture provided a failure. It is said that about $ 100 of the original purchase price remains unpaid. MOTOR BOAT AND DEER. Exciting Race Ends in Escape of Frightened Animal After Long Chase. Middletown, Conn.-F. S.

Perfume to Follow Motors M. Deletrain, a young inventor, claims to have made a discovery for motorists which would be a soon for the public. It consists of a small solid cone, which the inventor has named the motor cone. When it is discovered in petrol or benzine the cone destroys the odor of burnt gases and leaves an agreeable perfume behind. Motor cones will be sold in small boxes or among six cones at about 25 cents a box, and one cone is said to be sufficient to perfume 60 miles of road. BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD.

Shearer of Indianapolis, Aged 26, Appointed Governor of Midway in the Pacific Ocean. Indianapolis, Ind.—Lieut. Maurice E. Shearer, of this city, is soon to be governor of one of the island possessions of the United States. It is not a large possession, and not densely populated, but it is rather important as it contains the United States midway cable station between Honolulu and the Philippines. The place is known as Midway Island. Shearer, who is only 26 years old, is a second Heutenan in the marine corps, having worked his way up to P. MAURICE E. SHEAKER. (Young Lieutenant Appointed Governor of Midway Island.) that position since 1901, when he enlisted as a private. He was a Shortridge high school pupil when war was declared between this country and Spaln, and although he was ready to graduate from the school, he quit and became a member of battery A, of this city. After his service with the battery, Maurice Shearer went to Ohio and there served as manager for a contracting company. The martial spirit had seized on him, however, and one day his father received a letter to the effect that Maurice had enlisted as a private in the marine corps, at Buffalo, in the hope of working up to a commission. In the examination through which he obtained his commission as second lieutenant; he stood fourth in a large class, and he stood equally high in an examination he has recently taken at the end of a postgraduate course at Annapolis. A few days ago he was ordered to report at Washington and was there informed that he was to have charge of Midway island. He was placed in charge of a detail consisting of 35 marines and several officers, and left San Francisco for Honolulu, where, with his detail, he will spend a month. He will then go to Midway island, five days' sail from Honolulu, and take possession. LARGEST MORGUE ON EARTH The Columbarium at San Francisco Not Unlike a Church in Appearance—A Costly Structure.

It is said that San Francisco was the only city in the world enforcing cremation on all its inhabitants, consequently the extension of cemeteries was stopped, and the great black cross on the heights and visible from ships at sea marked the last of the great burial places of former days. The crematory, built at great expense, was called the Columbarium and was fitted up with luxurious nooks and corners for the dead. There were thousands of niches along the walls, as in a picture gallery, and the urns for the ashes were placed above and below "the line," according to your choice of position and length of purse. An Educated Elephant. When Lord Dufferin was viceroy of India he received a novel paper knife from the Maharajah Hokkar of Indore as a return gift of an ivory paper cutter given to him in England. The viceroy introduced a fine young elephant into the room. A pile of newspapers lay at Lord Dufferin's side; the animal went up to them, cut them neatly with his tusks, which had been purposely sharpened, and laid them in a neat heap on the floor, ready for perusal.

DOESN'T WANT IUGA COBURN OF KANSAS DECLINES SENATORSHIP. Well-Known Agriculturist Has Refused Other Offices That He Might Help Farmers—Ex-Judge Benson Succeed Burtan. Topeka, Kan.—F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state board of agriculture, who was tendered the appointment to succeed Joseph R. Burton in the United States senate, notified Gov. Hoch that he could not accept. The governor then offered the appointment to former Judge A. W. Benson of Ottawa, Kan., who accepted it. The offer of the senatorial toga to Secretary Coburn was peculiarly popular among the farmers. But had he accepted it they would have been disgruntled, it is declared, for "Coburn of Kansas" was just the man for them, they said. "Coburn of Kansas" might have been governor. But the agriculturists said they couldn't do without him as secretary of the state board of agriculture. So secretary he remained. "Coburn of Kansas" might have gone to congress. But the stockmen cried that they could never raise their stock without his help. And he kept on being secretary. The late President McKinley during his second term wanted "Coburn of Kansas" for secretary of the national department of agriculture. "But what'll we do when the bugs come round?" demanded the orchardists. And so he continued working for the grangers of Kansas. "Coburn of Kansas" stands up for his state, as Secretary Wilson learned in FOSTER D. COBURN. FOSTER D. COBURN. (Kansas Agriculturist Who Has Declined Burton's Seat in the Senate.) 1902, when the former, by the figures of the latter's own department, showed a statement credited to Secretary Wilson that "Kansas was in the semi-arid belt" was incorrect. Poster Dwight Coburn was born in Jefferson county, Wis., in May 1846. Mustered out of the Sixty-sixth Illinois infantry as a sergeant major at Fort Gibson, I.T., in 11866—he enlisted in the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Illinois infantry at the age of 18 years. He went to Franklin county, Kan. There he worked as a farm hand for a few years until he had saved enough to secure his own farm. About two years later he was married to Miss Lou Jenkins. Their two daughters and a son are graduates of the state agricultural college. Coburn was made secretary of agriculture in 1831, after he had served a year as clerk in the department. He held the secretaryship for six years, when he resigned to edit the Kansas City Lifesoft Indicator. The late George W. Gilck in 1832 made Coburn president of the agricultural college regents, a position the latter held till 1903, when he resigned because, as he said, his "old fogy" notions conflited with the theoretics of the college president. In 1894 Coburn was unexpectedly made secretary of the state board of agriculture again. He has remained there ever since. He was chosen chief of the department of livestock of the St. Louis exposition in 1902. As an authority on things agricultural "Coburn of Kansas" is renowned in England, Scotland, Canada, Australia and South Africa, where his works are used as text books. A. W. Benson for 12 years was a judge of the Fourth district bench, from which he retired eventually to return to the private practice of law. He was a member of the last legislature and gained a good deal of attention in that legislature by his ability. His speech against the state refinery bill in which he declared the measure unconstitutional, became famous. At that time Gov. Hoch expressed great admiration for Benson, and said that he would like to see him a member of the supreme court bench. When the next vacancy on that bench occurred people expected Hoch to appoint Benson, but they were disappointed. A second vacancy on the same bench occurred and Hoch again missed the opportunity of appointing Benson by giving the position to another man. But Hoch did make Benson a member of the advisory committee appointed to work with the special accountant to investigate the books of all the state departments. When a vacancy on the supreme bench occurred during Gov. Stanley's administration Benson was urged our appointment, but the railroads opposed it successfully. Have Eve to Business.

KINK·INE Great Hair Straightener and Grower Most Wonderful Discovery ever made for curly, kinky and knotty hair. Makes hair grow long, straight, soft and silky; cures dandruff and stops falling hair. Kink-ine acts like magic on the air. Kink-ine Is No Experiment. It was discovered by R. Roberts, a famous English chemist, who has made a study of the scalp of colored people for the past 80 years, and who, after much time and experience, has prepared this great iconic for the colored people. This chemist says that his experience and study have taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment and after laboring and testing these many years he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. KINK-INE will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month, if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate when we make these claims. KINK-INE is the only safe preparation in the world that is guaranteed to make the hair straight and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and falling out; takes out all the kinks and knots, cures dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to natural color. Read what Miss Elizabeth Jones of Chicago says of KINK-INE: "My hair was not more than three inches long when I commenced to use Kink-ine, six months ago. I have used it steadily since that date and it has grown on an average of two inches each month and it is now more than fifteen inches long. Besides, my hair has become almost straight and I fully believe by the end of the year I will have the most beautiful head of hair of any colored lady in the world."

UNDERGOES 32 OPERATIONS Man Has Pieces of Leg Taken Off at Odd Intervals for the Past Fourteen Years—Recovery Promised. New York.—Charles Rorain submitted in the German hospital at Newark, N. J., to the thirty-second operation that has been performed on one of his legs within 14 years. The 31 preceding operations had taken away almost all of his leg, and the surgeons found only a stump. Besides losing his leg, the operations have cost Rorain four years' time in the hospitals. Most of the operations have been due to Rorain's eagerness to leave the hospitals in which they were performed, affording no time for them to heal properly. Rorain hurt his foot in an elevator 14 years ago. The first operation cost him only a part of his foot. The surgeons say he will be fully cured in a month.

Berlin.—During the late war in Manchuria the Russians were often so hard pressed as to be obliged frequently to dispose of their dead and wounded in great haste. One wounded warrior told an interviewer, says a correspondent of the Hanover Courier, an almost incredible story. It appears that the practice was to give the dead and mortally wounded a black mark, and the slightly wounded a red one. Bodies with a black mark were then buried in large trenches by a sanitary column "I barely escaped," said the veteran. "Badly mauled, I lay on the field. A sanitary party approached. When they came to me I saw one of them seize the black brush. I just managed to gasp: 'I am alive. Do not bury me.' 'Have you any money?' I was asked. 'Yes.' 'How much?' 'Ten rubles.' 'Hand them over.' He took the money and gave me the red mark, and went on, but had not gone far when a Japanese bullet felled him. "Why should I lose my money? I thought. I crawled to the fallen man. He was dead. I searched his pockets. There were my ten roubles and 300 more. 'I am in luck this time,' I said to myself, and pocketed the lot. Then a mist came before my eyes and I fainted." ton Drug Store TON DRUG STORE. PHARMACY. in the drug line. It will be the le's Christian Congress for Drugs et Soaps and Perfumery.
